velvetk Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 without the kernel, your computer would not boot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82254-noob-question-on-vanilla/#findComment-584001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleisch Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 let me rephrase that...i'm sure that the install is using a (any) kernel. i just want to know if it is the unmodified vanilla kernel or a hacked version... thx fleisch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/82254-noob-question-on-vanilla/#findComment-584258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetk Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 oh in that case, you could try this: open up Terminal and type: in uname -a. If you want to run a specific kernel, while your computer booting up, press F8, type in the name of your kernel. To find out what kernel you have in your system, do ls / in your Terminal. Have a look at /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist. This is the file that you can specify the boot options.

Goron Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 type "uname -a" in a terminal. In case of vanilla kernel the output should look like: Darwin Mac-Pro 9.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.1.0: Wed Oct 31 17:46:22 PDT 2007; root:xnu-1228.0.2~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 where the bolded part is the machine name ....
